Lantern Festival Meeting
On 24th January, Buddha’s Light International Association South Island president Almeric Cheng, vice president Mei-Hua Chen, chapter presidents and committee members held a meeting with Venerable Juexi regarding the upcoming Lantern Festival.
During the meeting, issues such as groups, leaders, food preparation, decoration and transport were discussed. This year, FGS South Island will have three stalls at the site of the Lantern Festival. Apart from food, there will be cultural stalls, which hope to promote the Temple and BLIA South Island.
